Hello to u all,

I am trying to figure out how long I will need to stay out of work after Banding. I am an RN so I do have a semi- active work load. I hear so many different responses from 4 days to 1 month! That's a lot of time in between. I would like your post-op opinions. Thanks alot

Six days for me. I worked on the psych ward at the time.

I am a Labor and Delivery nurse and I lift and move pregnant woman all day, I took off about 16 days and I was fine when I went back. Good LUCK!!

I'm an LVT, (animal nurse) and I took a week. I just avoided lifting anything over like 25# for the next 2.5 weeks. Then I went back to lifting 50+ # animals. I was sore bending over and getting up from the lower cages, but nothing to bad. At day 4 post op I was starting to get real bored at home, and I felt I could've gone back on like day 5.

Im taking off 16 days I work ER and sometime I have to lift assist moving patient from gurney to bed my surgery is scheduled for June 30 so I plan to return by July 18th.

Thanks for the responses ladies and gents. I think i will b ok with the 2 weeks off. Surgery date is JULY 29, anyone else close to that? Good luck ladies & gent!
